Pocket PC - How to Remove AvantGo Channels from Mobile Favorites ?

bullet

Introduction:

The latest AvantGo client available for download (AvantGo version 5.7 build 35) unlike earlier versions cannot be accessed via the Pocket Internet Explorer.  It is a separate program that needs to be accessed via the Programs menu on your Pocket PC.  Therefore, the AvantGo favorite icon in your Pocket Internet Explorer is redundant.

If you try to delete this favorite item, as seen in the above screen-shot, the "Delete" button will not be highlighted.  You will not be able to delete it directly.

How Do I Delete It Then?

The default Mobile Favorites you see under Pocket Internet Explorer is actually loaded from the Pocket PC registry.  The rest of the Favorites that you add are stored under \Windows\Favorites directory.  To access the registry, use PHM Registry Editor
The entry is stored under the following key:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main\FavoritesEntries

So if you want to delete the AvantGo Channels Favorite information, browse to this location as seen in the above screen shot and delete the ReadOnly entry.  This will enable you to delete it via the "Delete" button as seen in the first screen shot.  Or else simply delete the AvantGo Channels entry as seen in the above screen shot and perform a soft reset.

Note that the AvantGo Channel Favorite will be restored if you perform a hard reset.
